When considering equipping a Pistol in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, players can look to the X12 Akimbo to improve their speed and stealth on the battlefield. With limited Perk Packages in Warzone 2, players will need to rely on a good secondary weapon, and the X12 Akimbo is one of the best. These pistols can fire almost as quickly as players can pull the trigger, which gives them an outstanding short-range TTK (Time To Kill) as far as secondary weapons go.

With the X12 Akimbo, playing stealthily and getting the jump on targets is the greatest strategy. Despite Warzone 2's Dead Silence Perk nerfs, this Field Upgrade is still a great pick to satisfy that play style. When it comes to selecting Perks, players should consider the Specter Perk Package, which contains Double Time, Tracker, Spotter, and Ghost. As for Equipment, Drill Charge is useful to eliminate enemies camping behind cover and the blinding Flash Grenade is good for surprise attacks.
